TABLE III -.
Average changes in spectral-domain HRV-alone measures, including low frequency (LF, in msec2), high frequency (HF, in msec2), ratio (LF/HF, unitless), and total spectral power (TSP=LF+HF, in msec2), for each subgroup and agent
Change | ΔLFnu (msec2) | ΔHFnu (msec2) | ΔLF/HF (unitless) | ΔTSP (msec2) |
---|---|---|---|---|
The LF and HF are normalized values indicated by “nu.” Significance of changes are marked (*p<0.010 or **p<0.001). See Table I for more details. See text for discussion. | ||||
